Our 4th of July

Chris and I decided to to take the kids to Liberty Park in Salt Lake for the 4th of July. Our friend Sione Pouha #91 for the Jets was promoting a new drink called "Bula" and he invited us to attend a big party at the park. We went around 3 and stayed til almost 7pm, and at that time, we met up with Emily and her date, and his sisters and took the kids to a Salt Lake Bees game! There are some games where they have fireworks after the game, and this was one of those games. The view is AMAZING whenever you see fireworks at the park. We've gone 2 times already this year. Anyways, while we were at Liberty Park, we got to see Sione and his wife Keiti and 2 of their boys! Their girls were up hula hooping with some of the other family. It was such a nice show with live music and tons of people. We even got to see Chris Kemoeatu who now plays for the Steelers as well. Him and Sione are good friends. Chris Kemoeatu is even a good singer, who would have known! :)
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the STEELERS! I swear, I would love to be able to go home whenever they play the JETS and watch that game! Ugh, it would just be amazing! Right now, the NFL is still doing their lockout and so there are still no games set to play....
Because of the lockout, I was able to see Sione though in Utah so i guess it does have it's benefits! His family is so great. I will post some pics of us with his family, along with Chris Kemoeatu singing up on stage!

Oh...and Sione even signed a football for Landon and another football for Rayden! He was bummed that he didn't get to see Emily or Rayden, but we told him that we'll get together with him again now that he's in Utah for awhile.  Landon slept with his football and has had it with him all day. He keeps saying that he wants to play with it for a little bit, but I keep telling him that it's a signed ball from an NFL player who is friends of Mommy and Daddy and he doesn't really understand. He'll be happy ONE DAY though!





Enjoy everyone~

 The end Result of Landons park in our back yard.
 Landon really enjoys his "park". Thats what he calls it. Anyways, he plays a lot with the gravel like it is like sand. He uses the swingset, and then digs with his dumptrucks in the gravel. A lof of the neighborhood kids like to come over and play as well. It's nice that the kids are enjoying it so much!

:)

I made some grapeleaves for dinner tonight. They sound scarey to eat, I know, but they are AMAZING!...
Some of my friends think it's gotta be a Panamanian thing..but it's not! lol A friend of mine is Lebanese and it's one of her family's specialties! They are sooooooooo good!
Today we spent the day at Kent and Denise's house and saw Brian and Lauren, and Baby Brynlee. Ohh, and congrats on the new baby coming! I know you will LOVE having 2 babies! I know I do! Life has been really good to me and my family!
Chris and I have done a lot of work lately on landscaping our yard! I will add pics shortly! I am just so busy these days that I am sorry that I haven't been keeping up with my posts. Every so often, I try to do better. I have some new pics of our landscape to post and of my family here shortly! Mckenna has her 2 teeth, and she rolls over every direction. Chris thinks she'll start crawling within the next month! Wish us luck! I actually kinda enjoy her not being able to follow me everywhere yet!
Well...pics are coming soon of everything...landscape, landons's new park in our backyard all finished. We put peagravel around the playground and paved it in. It looks really good!

Landscaping...not yet a success, but it's coming along well.

Mckenna has been sick the last few days...so she's on an antibiotic! She's doing better now though that it's been a few days! Chris and I have been digging up some of our SOD in the yard and working on doing some of the landscape. Chris is having a field day with it too. Yesterday, Chris, his parents, and some of his brothers helped us get this HUGE rock out of the ground so that Chris could plant our very first tree here at our new place. Its been fun, but its a lot of work! And we are reaping the benefits of not being able to move today. lol  We planted like 15 shrubs yesterday, along with the tree!
Anyways, we will post pictures soon! :)
